Most Important Things We Went Over This Week

~고 나서 = only for verbs, but NO motion (coming/going) verbs – it expresses temporal order (A 고 나서 B = I B after A)

~고 is similar to ~아/어서 – both indicate temporal relationship between events, but ~고 connects two unrelated events, ~아/어서 connects two events that go in sequence and are closely related

ㄹ 때 = during some time vs. 면서 = while doing some action (one subject’s simultaneous action) vs. 동안 = while (and two subjects in the two clauses can be different – i.e. expressing what Kate does while John does something)

크리스마스에 vs. 크리스마스 떼 = On Christmas Day, vs. during the Christmas season

자마자 = “right after”

ㄴ 지 ~ 되다/넘다/안 되다 (all relatively the same) = since – how much time has passed since some action
